Firefox requires video in different format, all old videos have no this additional video file. 

However after installing "HTML5 Player" module, additional video file with the proper format is generate for NEWLY UPLOADED VIDEOS ONLY.

If for some reason HTM5 video can't play - there is a fallback to Flash based player.

 No. It works fine in every other major browser except firefox. It either appears as flash or nothing appears. Help!

I see you have renamed "Sounds" module to "Music". This is the problem in your case.

You need to make the appropriate changes in "HTML5 Player" module as well.

 I did make the appropriate changes to the Sql file ._. maybe i need to check more into it. Works great in all browsers except Firefox. Weird ._. have any idea what might be the problem?

 Yes, you need to make the appropriate changes in "HTML5 Player" module and reinstall it.

After looking in several places - and by this time you may have already found the answer - I have found a solution that works for me. I have made no changes to the site files but for 1 exception: add this bit of code to the bottom of the .htaccess file - but above the "AddType application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip .air"

 

AddType video/webm .webm

AddType video/mp4  .mp4 .m4v

AddType audio/mp4  .m4a

AddType video/ogg  .ogv

AddType audio/ogg  .ogg .oga

 

After inserting above code, I then cleared all caches in Dolphin and browser. Videos are working perfectly for those added after installation of html5 module. Since I installed all modules immediately after installing site I can not say if this solution will work for pre-html5 module. Apparently, Firefox has issues when dealing with html5. I have never had this issue when dealing with any other html5 players in firefox, but oh well. It is what it is.

Hope this helps someone
